Success Story: Tzigane, LLC

Janny Breton realized her dream in October 2013 of purchasing a building and opening a store in Buffalo to sell repurposed furniture, vintage clothing and collectibles, plus western items. She calls her retail store “Tzigane” which means “to live or roam like a gypsy…A Bohemian Eclectic Place.”

Gypsies have always intrigued her with their music, dance and decorated wagons. Her store reflects her mission to make available hard-to-find and unusual items. Open Tuesday through Saturday, her lively store is thriving. She purchased an existing building and refaced it with a rustic, western theme. She initially used only half the interior space, but within a few months, expanded to utilize the entire building.

Wyoming Entrepreneur SBDC assisted with the details of starting a business. Tzigane and the real estate LLC, Sans Soucis, were financed entirely with personal funding.
